Lesson Summary Four tools that historians use to organize information include significance, social institutions, time, and space. Historians and geographers use different spatial scales or “containers” to organize their investigations of human activities. Different sizes of spatial scales or “containers” allow us to compare events and analyze how they connect to each other and to the environment. Studying ancient history using modern maps and names are often inaccurate ways of looking into the past.
